What is FIFO Memory?

FIFO (first-in-first-out) memory is a type of computer memory that stores data in the form of a queue. This means that the first data written into the memory is the first data read out, and so on.

FIFO memory can be used in a variety of applications. For example, in embedded systems, it is often used to store data temporarily while waiting for the main processor to access it. This means that it can be used in high-speed applications such as data acquisition, digital-signal-processing, and memory controllers.

Features & Benefits of the SN74ACT7813-25DLR FIFO Memory

The SN74ACT7813-25DLR FIFO Memory has a single select input and built-in logic that enables it to be used for a variety of applications in digital-signal-processing or memory-management systems. It is one of the smallest FIFO memories in the ACT family and is available in an 8-bit Bytesize or 16-bit Wordsize.

This FIFO memory is based on a synchronous design, which means that all transfers take place during one clock cycle. This in turn has several advantages, such as low power consumption and high data transfer rates. The device also features an asynchronous reset to ensure correct initialization, and a level indicator output to indicate when the FIFO is full.

The device is also highly flexible, as it can be used with either standard TTL or low-voltage CMOS compatible inputs and outputs, making it suitable for a variety of applications. The device is also extremely reliable, with a 10-year SIL (Single Event Latch-up) reliability rating.

How Does the SN74ACT7813-25DLR FIFO Memory Work?

The SN74ACT7813-25DLR FIFO Memory works by storing data in its internal memory. Data is written into the FIFO in a first-in-first-out basis, meaning that the data written first is the data read out first. The FIFO memory has its own internal logic, which allows it to function as either a simple stack or a more sophisticated FIFO.

In its simplest form, the FIFO can be used as a simple stack. In this mode, data is written into the FIFO one byte at a time and read out in the same order. The FIFO memory also has built-in logic that allows it to be used as a more sophisticated FIFO memory. In this mode, data can be written into the FIFO in blocks, up to eight bytes at a time, and read out in the same order.

The FIFO memory also features a level indicator output which indicates when the FIFO memory is full and when it is empty. This output is connected to the select circuit, which allows the microprocessor to process the data as appropriate.

Conclusion

The SN74ACT7813-25DLR FIFO Memory is an ideal device to be used in digital-signal-processing and memory-management systems. It is small and flexible, with a single select input and built-in logic to enable it to be used for a variety of applications. It is also highly reliable and has a 10-year SIL reliability rating. Finally, it is based on a synchronous design which enables low power consumption and high data transfer rates.
